jQuery.fancybox error with system cache

Post by Tempe_S » Tue May 11, 2021 1:36 pm

Hi there,
I have an error with jQuery when system cache is enabled in Joomla Global Config, does anyone know if I can fix this so I can utilise the cache option please?
When 'add to cart' is clicked on an item in the virtuemart product module the following error appears (firebug console) and the product does not add to the cart. This only happens in the index page modules, virtuemart itself seems to be ok as products will add without issue in the store pages themselves.

Error output:
Uncaught TypeError: jQuery.fancybox.showActivity is not a function
cartEffect mysite.com/components/com_virtuemart/assets/js/vmprices.js?vmver=661d8de0:95
sendtocartmysite.com/components/com_virtuemart/assets/js/vmprices.js?vmver=661d8de0:83
addtocart mysite.com/components/com_virtuemart/assets/js/vmprices.js?vmver=661d8de0:223
jQuery 9

jQuery 2
product mysite.com/components/com_virtuemart/assets/js/vmprices.js?vmver=661d8de0:239
<anonymous> mysite.com/en/:880
jQuery 8

Joomla version: 3.9.26
Virtuemart version: 3.8.8

TIA

I suggest you post this in the VM forums since this is not a Joomla issue

Check that the System Page Cache Plugin is not enabled. This plugin is only usable on a static site.

Thank you for your replies,
I am waiting on a response from VM forums. If I disable caching in the system settings of global config the issue is resolved, so I wasn't sure if it was a VM or a Joomla error however, this slows the page considerably.
I have checked Page Cache Plugin and it is not enabled, but if the cache is enabled in system cache handling is turned on it still doesn't work.
Thanks again.

What version of php are your running?

For php 7.3/7.4, enabling OPCache in php will increase code execution speed.

Thank you so much for your reply Per Yngve Berg,
OPCache appears to be enabled, hopefully, that may suffice.
